Assigning an Emir to this city will decreases corruption.
Emirs, however, dependable of their distance to the
capital, are not always entirely to be trusted, and
therefore they do not eliminate all corruption, but only
50%. Also, as Emirs want to stay Emirs, cities become
more resistant to bribery. Also, for the French player,
one content citizen will become happy. |
